LTDE24 Nº 004 — Sacred Guardians | Labradorite & Rhodochrosite · Beaded Rosary

Five decades of natural 4 mm Rhodochrosite and Labradorite are punctuated by double-terminated Herkimer Diamonds and silver or gold-filled accent beads.

A sterling-silver Virgin Mary medal leads to a sterling-silver crucifix set with a Labradorite cabochon, while the Melana Universe Burst completes the design.

The rosary measures approximately 50 cm and is finished with a lobster clasp and extension chain.

Handcrafted in Melbourne on industrial beading wire, natural variations ensure every rosary carries its own pattern, luminosity and devotional character.

Anima Mundi ~ The Wheel of Life™ is Melana’s living compass of direction, element, season, archetype and alchemy.

Within the Wheel, animals are understood as expressions of divine virtue within creation.

Antelope of West carries compassion and emotional steadiness, reflected through the maternal presence of Mary.

Eagle of East carries clarity and sacred communication, echoed through St Gabriel.

Lioness of North carries courage and guardianship, reflected through St Michael.

Rhodochrosite, Herkimer Diamond and Labradorite anchor these virtues in stone, while the crucifix holds the rosary within its devotional centre.

The Seven Soul Gates decode the jewel’s deeper architecture—its guides, transformation, virtues, anchors and timing within the Wheel.

Sacred Guardians was created from the need for something that could be held when words were not ready.

My spirituality began through the Catholic traditions of Mary, prayer, angels and one God. Over time, I also came to recognise divine wisdom within animals, stones and the natural world.

To me, these are not separate paths, but different expressions of the same sacred presence.

The tenderness of Antelope reminded me of Mary. The clear sight of Eagle carried something of Gabriel. The courage of Lioness reflected the guardianship of Michael.

Sacred Guardians became a meeting place between these languages—a rosary shaped by faith, nature and the quiet need to return.

With awe & wonder,
